Trial Information

Yes. To help you evaluate Adobe’s consumer photo and video editing software for upgrade or purchase, we offer “try and buy” versions of Photoshop Elements 15 and Adobe Premiere Elements 15 in many of the languages in which we ship.

These trial versions are fully functional, so every feature and aspect of the product is available for you to test-drive. Product trials can easily be converted for unrestricted use without the necessity to reinstall the software in most cases.

The trial period begins on the first day that you launch the software (a counter appears each time you launch to help you keep track of the elapsed time). When the trial expires, you must purchase the software to continue using it.

No, you cannot extend a trial version once it expires, nor can you install another copy of the same trial version onto the same computer to try again.

Can I convert my trial to a paid, unrestricted version?

Yes.

How do I convert to a paid, unrestricted version of the product?

If you already have a trial version of Photoshop Elements 15 or Adobe Premiere Elements 15 installed on your computer, you can continue using the software without interruption by purchasing the product for unrestricted use.

Click Buy within the trial to purchase.

When your purchase is complete, you’ll receive a product serial number via email that allows you to easily convert your trial version without reinstalling the software.

Enter the serial number in the Software Setup screen within your trial product and follow the prompts to complete the process.

Are resources available to help me evaluate the trial software?

Yes. If you have opted to receive email communications from Adobe, for some product trials you may receive a series of communications with helpful resources and tips to get the most from your trial. Additional free resources are also available to you:

I have an earlier trial version. Can I convert it to the latest version of the product?

If you are a trial user of an earlier version of Elements software and are ready to purchase the product, you must purchase and install the latest version — Adobe Photoshop Elements 15, Adobe Premiere Elements 15 or the Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 & Adobe Premiere Elements 15 bundle. It is not possible to convert your Elements 13 or earlier trial to the latest version. Note that the organization and tagging you have done in your trial can be converted to the latest version.

I would like to install my product in a different language than the one in which I installed the product during my trial period. Can I uninstall and reinstall my application in a different language?

Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements offer the option to install the application in any one of many languages available. If you would prefer to install a purchased product in a language other than the one you installed during your trial period, simply go back to the original installer (whether DVD or Electronic Software Delivery), install the correct language, and then enter your serial number.

How do I uninstall my trial software?

To uninstall your trial version, close any open Adobe software on your computer and do the following: In Windows®, open the Windows Control Panel and double-click Add or Remove Programs. Select the product that you want to uninstall, click Change/Remove, and then follow the onscreen instructions. In Mac OS, double-click the product installer in Applications\Utilities\Adobe Installers. Authenticate as an administrator, select Uninstall Components, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

Should I make a backup copy of the trial software and additional content?

Yes, if you choose the download option when converting a trial to a purchased version, we highly recommend making a backup copy and keeping it together with the serial number. That way, if you get a new computer or have to rebuild an existing one, you have everything you need to efficiently reinstall your Adobe software. (Alternatively, follow the instructions in the email receipt to log in and download your software for up to three years after you purchase.) If you had the software shipped from Adobe or a reseller at purchase, that package serves as your backup version.
